Wine Notes:  During the Renaissance, the Dukes of Burgundy claimed these vineyards and cellars for themselves, the best of which are to-day part of the vast Drouhin family estate. This superb white wine comes from the estate of the Marquis de Laguiche, the largest owner of Le Montrachet. Since 1947, Maison Joseph Drouhin has the entire charge of the estate, from the cultivation of the vineyards to the vinification of these two famous wines and their distribution around the world. The grapes are picked by hand in small crates, then carefully brought to Joseph Drouhin Winery in Beaune. After a slow and gentle pressing, the juice ferments in 228-liter oak barrels. The percentage of new oak varies, never exceeding 40%. Chassagne-Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche has a lovely gold green color. The nose is elegant, with pear, vanilla and apple as the dominant flavors. The wine is well balanced and round with a nice fruity finish. Very long and complex, this is a superb example of a great Chardonnay from Burgundy.
